Great Family Sushi Dining
May 13, 2007 by Ian Kallen
Samurai Sushi Boat
★★★★★
Samurai Sushi Boat provided the venue for a fine Mother's Day dinner out. Sitting side by side at a counter facing the sushi chefs, the family was treated to a regatta of boats bearing the delectables they created. As the sushi dishes paraded by, we pulled them off the boats, sampling and exploring the repertoire.
While most of us were content with the ebi (shrimp), california rolls, ninja rolls, gyoza and so forth, the udon noodles with chicken suited our 8 year old just fine. The prizes under some of the dishes gets the youth vote, too!
Samurai Sushi Boat will likely never win any awards for their sushi. But on this evening, our objective was family dining; training wheel fare for the kids and some good food for the grups. And Samurai Sushi Boat met all of those objectives.

Don't buy Home Depot's power washers
The Husky 1300 psi power washer that Home Depot sells are worthless. They don't reach 1300 psi and when they work at all they take a long time (at least 10 minutes) to reach their maximum pressure. Today, the piece of junk I bought last year just wouldn't pressurize at all. I ran it for twenty minutes before I finally gave up. You're better off getting a good nozzle for a garden hose, seriously. I'll try Sears next.

Skywalker Channels Cheney
Not exactly a tale of two Georges but I gotta talk about the Star Wars movie and a few Georges. Not to worry, I'm not gonna ladle out the spoilers. So, as mentioned in my previous post, I saw the film from Lucas this morning. It was great! Shmaltz! Light sabers! Dogfight combat! IOW, a classic. However, one of the memorable moments (at least for g'rups) is a line from the darkening Skywalker. In an obvious allusion to Bush, Anakin is deluding himself that he's bringing peace and tranquility to the galaxy, declaring "If you're not with me you're my enemy." The vast left wing conspiracy is correct, Bush is The Dark Side.

Open Source Radio and podcasts over the air
The San Francisco Chronicle reported today about kyouradio.com. Billed as "Open Source Radio", they have displaced Don Imus with podcasts. The choice of podcast topics (martini mixing, cats and ramblings about mortality) doesn't sound like a winner but I'd imagine integrating Technorati's link statistics and tags as a feedback mechanism to determine what podcasts are succeeding and which ones aren't. Adaptive radio programming where people vote for what to hear at drive time with their blog links!

Mentoring
Sometimes leading someone else to a solution is much more gratifying than finding the answer myself.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
